Hello,

My name is Jay Parker. Been in the HVAC business for about a year.
Last 5 years I've been self employed tile and stone installer. At 35 knees shot and can't get down on them anymore, so had to find another trade.

Employed by good old boy (50+) years experience. Full of knowledge, honest and can fix anything.

Great sight, full of info, with the ever changing technology this sight is perfect.

(got to go son just pulled his first tooth out with a pair of KNipex) lol that a boy.

Interesting. I got away from HVAC installations and service because of bad knees...

Been doing a lot of service work this week. I just noticed today that I'm squatting a lot more than kneeling these days. Been using a great product called Nikken use their knee wraps (far-inferred). So far so good.

Take Care Jay Parker

Actually, you are correct. It is squatting that my knees can't take, not actually kneeling. I wasn't thinking about the different ways we can have bad knees.

You might try getting a tool case which doubles as a stool. Friend of mine has one and it is great. Thank you very much

I still use my old tool bucket seat top for inside and my refrigerant tank carrier/stool for outside. On the now rare occasions I do physical work on HVAC systems, or even some home repair stuff, I definitely need some sort of stool.
